- I traveled to a Thai island off the coast of Phuket called Coconut Island. It really wasn't all I expected it to be. So let me share why this island may not be for you, and who it is really for.

Fun history fact about coconut island.
It was only relatively recently colonized when a plane crashed on it with only two survivors. Ian kutzinski a russo-irish sociologist and and 9 other figures left unamed.
Ian kutzinski proved an adept climber able to gather all the coconuts of the island quickly. He used that collection of resources to barter him self into command and give tasks to the other survivors he would reward with coconuts.
Eventually a rescue by a local fisherman would come but Ian kutzinski refused to leave and instead of that he began trading coconuts for small things with the local fishermen.
After that locally word came out he was hiring leading in an influx of people going to the island in the prospect of a job.
After 6 years of building up Ian kutzinski officially started the company known as Alden's
coconuts in honor of his close friend and world renown mathematician George Alden. The man that came up with the theory known today as Alden's number.
Ian's company kept growing and so did the island under the economical pillar he set.
He would later on write a book titled coconut island an autobiographical novel detailing his experience in the island and how he managed to prosper due to his ideology that he defined as super capitalism.
Today Alden's company owned by Ian kutzinski is responsible for 5% of the worlds coconut export.
And Ian him self has retired and makes content on CZcams under the chanel known as vaush.
All hail Vowsh
I’m so glad I stumbled upon this video, I have been eyeing coconut island and thinking of going but I’m glad you did a video so I can see what’s it about.

Wow, that resort is MASSIVE! Thank you though for your honest commentary, we appreciate that you took us through the town. It manages expectations and helps us make a better decision whether to go or not.
Absolutely! Yeah I always want to see what the local life is like outside the resorts. Such a contrast but 24 hours was enough to see the whole place!
Good job on giving an honest view of what're pros and cons of this beautiful and serene place.
Thanks for watching!! 😁😁
The island is sooo tranquil! Amazing drone footage bro!
Wait til you see the next one 😉 it’s like Maldives
Love that it’s quiet and the villas are beautiful. 🙌🏽🙌🏽We think 3 days max would be good because after that boredom would set in 🥱
Alex, Happy your back hopefully feeling better. Nice place to escape the world.
Hope your dad having fun with you.
Yes feeling great! Good to be out in the fresh air hah
My husband and i were thinking of booking at the village resort thru luxury escapes in sept. didn't realise how new and quiet it is. we're more of a going to different restaurants, explore night markets kinda people. So this is probably not our cup of tra when it comes to accomodation. thank you for this video
I’m glad it helped Sesa!
Love the content! Quick question on the drone footage, did you have to register for that and if you did, how long did the process take? I am travelling to Phuket next week and confused whether I should bring my drone. Appreciate your reply!
nope just flew safely didn't have any issues
Hey Alexander, you're back again 🎉🎉 hope you're feeling well after all that and be safe there Jan.
Thanks! I am now 😃
the resort property looks nice from what is already completed.,,but unfortunate there isnt much to do. But if you just want to relax than it isnt a bad option I guess. Thanks for sharing Alex.
Absolutely great place to unwind
There are also a ton of tours it looks like!
Such a chill looking island I love it!🌴
Super chill! 😃
Wow, loved this place..good job Alex!
Thanks Andrew!!
I will be heading here next week for a few days, it looks perfect
I’m sure it’s changed a lot now! Hope you enjoy 🙌🏻
Never heard of the place but it looks nice. Thanks for the video.
thank you for watching GK!
Love this video. Coconut island is beautiful 🤩
Thanks for watching Sarah!!
Beautiful place ...yes its looks peaceful...i love quiet places ...
It’s def an escape from the busy lifestyle
✓It's very quiet, on the island!!😁 It's also scary along the way there are no other people,..if in Bali, Indonesia there are motorbike rentals,.. so tourists don't get bored if they have to stay at the villa. It looks like the Resort is in the Construction Stage, it looks like it will be good in the future the beach view is also good👍👍. Lonely alone if Kintania is accompanied by fun, huh.. Miss Kintania, Alex, when will we vlog together again??👍
Thanks! Yeah it’s very quiet on the island haha. Kintania will be joining me in a few weeks!
Hey Alex have you seen the new Canggu cut through, all smoothly paved now playa!
I have not! It’s about time they fix it though haha
Nice quite island like Belitung. But i more love Belitung. We will visiting belitung when holiday to Indonesia. Terimakasih.
Belitung is an amazing place and people are so friendly 😁😁
Glad to see you againn alexx
Thanks Kevin! Good to be back!!
thank you Alex,,,for the recommendation of a very lonely island for removing the stress set from Jakarta Indonesia ❤️
Great job, Alex!

CZcams
Great bro... am from Papua, the eastern province of Indonesia
I can't imagine staying in that place for two weeks or one month, as too quiet a tourist there was no interaction.
Such a beautiful place 💖
All of Thailand is!
@@alexandwhite well.... Have a great trip ...I will see Thailand through your videos.....
Song?
Thanks for sharing this video.
Thanks for watching Yasin!
@@alexandwhite 🙂
@@alexandwhite Appreciate it if u let us know d tourism in Thailand in general. I've only been to Phuket, Phi Phi, Bangkok, Haadyai, Songkla, n I find it quite charming, but that was 20 years ago. After watching vlogs, I found places, small island like Phi Phi r over developed for tourist n almost empty during lockdown. Hope u r having a good time. 🙂
should offer your own tours
Maybe eventually 😆
Too quite for me , but that food looks amazing
haha yeah i was thinking the same thing
Good afternoon 😍 💕
How does this resort afford to stay open!? 😭
That’s what I was wondering haha
Waw a fun day 😊 😉
add coconut island to the bucket list. check. order a few beers. check. take a walk. check. go to dinner. check. take some Zzzzz's. check. Looking forward to your adventures in Thailand.
Thanks Simon! When are you visiting?
@@alexandwhite good question! thanks for asking. : Soon! Def this year. Most likely the beginning of March or June. Just finishing up some things. Thailand is on the top short list, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, is below that. I might have to do a Latin America trip first, then Asia. But yes. Watching your videos could change that order. hahahahahaha. And of course I'd do Coconut island why not for a few days. Thailand is easier to get into now, and since it was on the list anyway, it's looking like Thailand. My last trip was Ecuador all over the country solo and wow that was quite an adventure. But I'm really been looking forward for Asia and I'll end up going at least a few times. I love watching your videos. Not only does it give me an idea/taste of the country with some insight. But as I said before, I love your straight-forward candid approach to your videos. You keep it real, informative, still fun, but not over the top. Love to see you experiencing new adventures. You'll be way gone by the time I get there but who knows love to bring you something from the states [learning to fill the bags on the way over with stuff you cant get (not clothes)] like electronics etc. In Ecuador I brought Mattel Hot Wheels and Colored Pens with Journals to hand out to all the kids when I got there. Gave out a lot. It was great! -- Or just buy you a beer. hahahahahaha. Cheers and thanks so much for your videos. I hope you just keep enjoying the journey!
Love it
thanks Aman!
Great bro 😎

Hey bro, come to India someday. I invite you to my beautiful country . ☺
Guess we are not going here lol
24 hours wouldn’t be bad if you’re looking for an escape, but that’s about as long as you need on a small island hah
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Thanks for watching! 👏🏼👏🏼

Congrats to everyone who is early And who found this comment 👏 ❤..
Who is WE? :)
Why don’t you get in the pool and swim. If I was there I would not get board I would be swimming, eating lots of seafood, having sex, and drink a lot of Thai beer.
your voice is very monotone
Possible to rent a scooter in coconut ?
No didn’t see any, the whole island is pretty walkable. There are a few taxis on the island used by the locals at port
@@alexandwhite ok thanks ✌
